Rescues And Knife Fights And Food

I’m still wrasslin’ with my computer. I’ve about decided the problem is Mandriva 2011. Is anybody surprised? Anyone? Bueller? The reason I think so is that, when I Google whatever error message I happen to be getting, there’s always a list of hits of people looking for the solution to that message. Those who solve it are usually people who are comfortable getting into the files and rewriting them. I’m not there, yet, but I’m approaching it. The next time you see me, I may have computer grease under my fingernails and a computer with a picture of a nude hard drive on my office wall.

Pursuant to that, I downloaded the Trinity Rescue Kit, because it was recommended to me by T. Lee Harris, who can write, draw, cook, sew, shoot, repair anything from houses to jewelry — do damn near anything. Oh, and it was free. It’s already fixed one problem, exposing another. ding! Next!

Now let’s take a leap backwards into the past. Come on — hold my hand, it’ll be easy — one … two … three … jump! ~sound of prehistoric animals in the background, hominids grunting around us~ Here we are at NPR’s Culture And Cosmos blog, where famed anthropologist Barbara J. King is talking about humanity’s mostly vegetarian past. Not entirely, but mostly. I think my takeaway lesson is that I eat like a caveman.

Dr. King is a pescatarian, which means she eats fish, so my next stop was at the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch site, where one can read about good/okay/bad seafood choices and can download a printable chart or a mobile app to help make those choices in restaurants or the grocery.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go rummage in my computer’s guts and learn to spit on the floor.

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

Nice recommends, pal!.
This is a fun concept for a site, albeit a commercial one. It’s still funny to look it up: Barmageddon. (Caution: Mayan apocalypse content.)
Sorry, you’ll have to use Google to get there.

Welcome to my site!

I've been a writer since I could think, and a cook since I was in middle school. I'm also an inveterate this-and-thatter. So this blog, which is supposed to be professional, kind of isn't. I blog about anything I damn well please. Oh--and food. Don't forget the food.

I’m a resource!
